Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for making a friction damper for linen washing machines.
- the invention relates, moreover, to a friction damper for linen washing machines, made by the inventive method.
- this restraining function is performed, according to a first technical solution, by a ring element which is arranged on the top of the hollow shell.
- a second prior solution provides to use a suitable undercut portion for restraining the friction element, said undercut portion being made by re-processing the damper shell or casing.
- both the disclosed prior arrangements are not operatively satisfactory and, moreover, they cause a great increase of the cost of the finished product.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a method for making a friction damper for linen washing machines, allowing to make a finished shell or casing, including the necessary housing for receiving therein the friction element, without the need of performing further processing operations after the molding proper.
- a main object of the present invention is to provide a finished friction damper of reduced cost and which can be made in a very reduced operating time.
- a friction damper for linen washing machines of the type comprising a rod which can be telescopically driven inside a mantle and at least a friction element, arranged between said rod and mantle and housed in an housing cavity, characterized in that said method comprises a first molding step for molding said friction element housing cavity, in which the male element of the mold operates in an axial direction, and a second operating step for making undercut portions for restraining said friction element, said first and second steps being carried out either simultaneously or in succession.
- the male element of the mold by operating in an axial direction, provides the damper rod housing hole, the friction housing plane and a plurality of upward opened recesses.
- the second operating step for forming said friction element housing cavity provides to open the mold, perpendicular to the axis of the damper mantle, to provide a plurality of undercut portions for restraining said friction element and a plurality of slots, formed on the outer surface of said friction element housing cavity or hollow.
- the second operating step for making said friction element cavity or hollow provides to use suitable knives, operating from the bottom according to a vertical direction parallel to the mold male element to provide said friction element restraining undercut portions.
- the present invention relates, moreover, to a friction damper for linen washing machines, of the type comprising a rod which can be telescopically driven in a mantle and at least a friction element, arranged between said rod and mantle and housed in a cavity therefor, characterized in that said cavity is provided with an housing plane or surface for housing said friction element, a plurality of upward open recesses, and a plurality of restraining undercut portions for restraining said friction element.
- Figure 1 is a partially cross-sectioned side view of the linen washing machine friction damper according to an embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2 is an . axonometric view of a further embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view, substantially taken along the section line III-III, of a modified embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 4 is a top plan view of the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 3.
- Figure 1 shows, by a partially cross- sectioned view, a friction damper for linen washing machines, made according to the method of the present invention, and generally indicated by the reference number 1.
- the friction damper 1 in particular, comprises a rod 4, which can be telescopically driven inside a mantle or casing 5 and comprising moreover a friction element 2 arranged between said rod 4 and mantle 5 and housed in a housing cavity or hollow 3 therefor; said mantle 5 including, in turn, a pair of windows 9.
- the cavity 3 is provided with a housing plane or surface 8 for housing said friction element 2, as well as with a plurality of upward open recesses 7, and a plurality of undercut portions 6 for restraining said friction element 2.
- Figures 3 and 4 show a modified embodiment of the damper according to the invention, in which the cavity 3 is provided, in addition to the friction element 2 housing surface 8 and upward open recesses 7, with a plurality of not throughgoing holes 11, which end at said friction element 2 restraining undercut portions 6.
- cavities 3 for housing the friction elements 2 of the friction dampers shown in the above mentioned figures are made by the following method.
- the inventive method comprises a first operating molding step, in which the male element of the mold, by operating in an axial direction, and in particular in the direction V shown in Figure 2, provides the housing hole for housing therein the rod 4 of the damper 1, as well as the friction element 2 housing surface 8 and the upward open recesses 7.
- the subject method comprises moreover a second operating step for making the friction element 2 restraining undercut portions 6, which second step is carried out simultaneously with the opening of the mold.
- said second operating step, for making said friction element 2 housing cavity 3 can be carried out according two different operating modes .
- the first of said operating modes provides to open the mold, perpendicularly to the axis of the damper mantle 5 and, in particular, in the direction W shown in Figure 2, so as to provide the friction element 2 restraining cutout portions 6 and, simultaneously, a plurality of slots 10 formed on the outer surface of the friction element 2 housing cavity 3.
- the second of the above mentioned operating modes for making said cavity 3 for housing therein said friction element provides to use suitable operating knives, operating from the bottom according to a vertical direction parallel to the mold male element, said knives forming non-throughgoing holes 11 ending at the friction element 2 restraining or holding undercut portions 6.
- the above disclosed method in its main variations, allows to make a finished shell enclosing therein the cavity 3 for housing therein the friction element 2, thereby obviating any requirements of carrying out further processing steps after the molding, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the finished product and the making times therefor.
